Nice Article Debunking Truthers

This is why I hate these people. They just ruined cookies
for everyone with two brain cells to rub together. Assholes.
Sorry I haven't been posting that often.  Wizards require a lot of time to do wizardy things.  Things you wouldn't understand.  Especially if you're a supporter of the National Convention of Tin Foil Hat Enthusiasts.

I did stumble across this article a few days ago for the first time, entirely debunking the entire 9/11 Conspiracy Theory. 

http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/06-09-11/

Let me disprove it further.  If the government was capable of killing thousands of Americans by faking the largest terrorist attack in the history of the world without any hesitation on the behalf of whoever was responsible... why then did they not kill all the 9/11 Truthers after it happened?

Seriously.  Why not?  God knows they're easy enough to find at Libertarian Party meetings.  They're the ones that smell like pot and have big mouths.  You know, everyone at the Libertarian Party meetings who's not running for office (and then some who are). I'd love to see these people rotting 6 feet under right now.

NWIPs and Other Radicals Fail To Understand America's Challenges

Fred Upton (R) speaks after MLK Jr. Day Parade
A few days ago, the incompetent leader of our local tin foil hat dozen (Faith Jones) sent out an e-mail asking people to oppose the nomination of Congressman Fred Upton (R) for Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.  Why?  Because he wants to force energy efficient light bulbs on Americans... and because Glenn Beck said so.

Jones and her idiot followers say this makes Fred Upton a big-government progressive.

In fact, at the face value of Upton's record, this is probably one of the strongest messages she's sent out in over a year.  Unfortunately, her understanding of the issues concerning the Energy and Commerce Committee is almost as shallow as she is.

This country is on the verge of an energy revolution that will greatly diminish our dependence on oil... you know, the life blood of Venezuela, Iran, and Islamic terrorism across the Middle East.  However, for this revolution to take place, we need as much electric power as possible.  Yes, I'm talking about electric cars, among other innovations.

The problem is that President Bush dropped the ball and, as a result, power supply is going to lag dramatically behind power demand for at least a decade.  President Obama, to his credit, is ignoring liberals telling him not to allow or provide government support for nuclear power plants - the 60-year-old answer to our energy problems Democrats thought they buried years ago.

So while we're catching up, the government has a responsibility to do everything it can to protect the general welfare of the people by protecting our supply of electricity from wasteful, inefficient practices in the free market.  As we all know, the new light bulbs actually SAVE consumers money in the long run.  If they totally replaced the incandescent light bulb nationally, it would have an enormous impact in lowering our national consumption of electricity.

The argument against this is the same as the argument against improving fuel economy in vehicles.  "If someone wants to drive a car that gets 40 gallons to the mile instead of 40 miles to the gallon," they will argue, "that's my right as an American."  But when your ridiculous consumption goes to increasing the global demand for oil and putting money in the hands of our enemies, you've got a problem because the government has the responsibility to protect us from those enemies you're helping to finance indirectly via your stupidity.

Power plants don't magically appear overnight.  And if we wait for demand to cause the "free market" to increase supply, we're going to be hosed really bad.  A lot of Upton's "big government" record comes from his attempts to improve our national power infrastructure by using taxpayer dollars to more quickly increase supply and encourage individuals and businesses to do their part to decrease demand in anticipation of the upcoming power grid crisis.

The worst case scenario if Upton were to have his way would be that we find a way to fuel ourselves with the every day crazy ideas of Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and Northwest Indiana's tin-foil hat club.  As a result, we'll have an increased supply of electricity and dramatically decreased demand. 

Economics 101: What happens when supply goes up and demand goes down?


Answer: People can afford their electric bills.

Don't Leave Idiots (aka Paulers) In Charge Of Food Safety

Ron Paulers believe it's okay for bread makers to have
decaying mice and roaches in their bread. If you're the fortunate
consumer, you have the right never to buy this brand again
or enjoy the protein the government doesn't want you
to have.  Don't trust Paulers. Ever. Not even to clean
your toilets.


Ron Paulers and other Libertarians in Republican clothing make you think food safety is a "liberty" issue.  The "liberty" issue is whether or not we have the right not to be poisoned by careless food producers and whether the government should go after those who put profits before the health of Americans and the billions Americans feed.

They call campaign contributions "bribes" because they blew all the money they would have otherwise donated to a tin-foil hat collector running for Congress on a ton of pot, and since they can't donate, it's obviously time to assail the character of those who can.

Ron Paulers are the biggest hypocrites in politics today.  They say they want liberty, hell - what they say they want is equivalent to anarchy.  But, if PRIVATE individuals use their money in a way they don't like, they throw a hissy fit over it.  Seriously?  Yeah, I looked at their alleged "bribes."  It's nonsense.  They have absolutely no idea what special interest group wants what.  Some of the special interests are even listed as both for AND against the Food Safety Bill.


Ron Paulers are hypocrites who have never made any sense to nor ever will make any sense.  The problem is that this country's education system has left so many people unable to think for themselves that they hear an idiot like Alex Jones and they suddenly lose their heads, thinking that the CIA is somehow involved in a conspiracy to make the sky fall.  To them, the only idiots are American Soldiers and Veterans who have put everything on the line to follow CIA orders, which have overrun military brass and all of the President's men.

Does anyone seriously want these people's voice involved in the debate about food safety?  People who use salt instead of deodorant and refuse to drink pop out of aluminum cans have no place making decisions about what we eat... or anything else for that matter.

Sarah Palin is a joke, even on Fox News


You know, I don't hate Sarah Palin, but that doesn't mean I want her to be President. Before she quit her job as Governor to have her own reality TV show, I actually looked forward to her proving herself as a competent leader and then becoming the first woman President of the United States in 2016 or 2020. Now, she's a joke.

With that said, there's a bigger joke of a politician out there right now and his name is Michael Steele.

Now, I don't like Palin for President, but I DO like her for RNC Chairwoman. No, she hasn't convinced me that she's the most competent person in the Republican Party. BUT! She's loud mouthed about party principles, she's not afraid to play hardball with liberals in the party, and the woman knows how to raise money.

Unfortunately, a lot of ground work needs to be done for this job and she's been so busy positioning herself for an impossible Presidential run that I think she may have already missed the bus on this one.

It's a shame because she would be an amazing Chairwoman.

Last of the NWIPs Divided On Homosexuality

As has been proven, there's only an insignificant number of loons left in the inept NWIP.

With that said, it's still fun to watch this terrible group die a little more.  This time, there's infighting about homosexuality.

"Tom A." has been posting links to every conservative newsletter he can find.  This apparently includes the radically homophobic American Family Association (AFA).  In his latest post, he asked the NWIPs to lead a local boycott against Home Depot for supporting the "Homosexual Agenda."

I think we can agree that Tom A. and the AFA are nuts.

But that's not the end of it.  Anita (another Democrat in the group), who I suspect swings in a way that the AFA wouldn't appreciate, decided to call Tom out on his idiocy, calling him a Spammer who only has his agenda at heart and doesn't care about the NWIP agenda.

Now, granted, I think Anita is right... even if she's left.  The problem I have is that neither Alex Jones nor the AFA have any business being involved in any Tea Party movement.  Yet, Alex Jones and his NAU, vaccine, 9/11 conspiracy theory brand of conservatism is loved and adored by the dozen or fewer members left in their ranks while another, more widely accepted (but still wrong) conservative philosophy rooted in radical Christianity is widely rejected.

I suspect that Faith Jones has already deleted Tom A. from the group, so we probably won't get to see two idiots at each others' throats.  Don't get me wrong, the guy deserves to be ousted.  It's just a shame that Faith Jones didn't start ousting idiots last year when she had the chance.  Now, they're all that's left in the group.


Gee... if only someone had warned her that all these people wearing tin foil hats would destroy the group.


Oh wait, that's right.  I warned her.  Repeatedly.  As did others.   It's just a shame she's too stupid to figure it out for herself and too ignorant to listen to other people's advice.

Faith Jones will partake in idiocy when she can

Remember my last post?  Well, stupid is as stupid does; and when stupid is done, stupid has done.

The incompetent tin foil hat advocate and DEMOCRAT that's in charge of the Northwest Indiana Patriots not only took time to call Congressman-elect Stutzman from IN-03 (mind you, this isn't even a bordering district).  In her e-mail to whoever the heck reads her 2nd grade-grammar filled memos (besides me, obviously), Jones not only bragged about making a fool out of herself, but she illustrated her foolishness by attacking the Republican National Committee.

Here's why it's foolish.

Faith Jones actively and publicly supported Democrats and, at every turn, tried to undermine Republicans.  Now, I've got my gripes with the RNC, but I can say with total confidence that the RNC did more to elect CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS than Faith Jones and her tin foil hatters.

Of course, there are cowardly lions out there who will defend Faith Jones with cowardly lion like attacks on me.  But those attacks aren't a defense of Jones; they are, not surprisingly, an attempt to ignore the topic at hand and blow smoke in everyone's faces... something right out of the Democrat Playbook.

I'm sure soon-to-be-former Commissioner Harper is pleased at how well he trained you all.

Faith Jones, who was denied access to the Indiana Republican Convention a few months ago because she votes in Democrat primaries, has absolutely no business telling conservative Republicans from other Congressional Districts which meaningless orientation they ought to be attending.

Really Annoying Tea

I got this in my inbox today from the Tea Party Patriots.  As you may or may not have heard on CNN or FoxNews, some Washington Tea Party people wanted incoming Congressmen to attend a Tea Party orientation for freshman members-elect of Congress.  To get their way, they had Tea Party people blast their personal cell phones with a gazillion calls.  Well, it turns out they f*ed up.

Here's the e-mail:

Thank you for making calls to your Congressmen-elect urging them to attend our freshman orientation this weekend.  It's time to turn off the heat. 

We also need to apologize to some people.  In our haste to compile the list and get it out to you, some people who didn't win their races were incorrectly included as having won.  People who dedicate a year or more of their lives to running for office, and who don't succeed, are as deserving of our respect and support as those who ultimately prevailed.  In many cases, they have sacrificed their time, money, and families to the cause of restoring the nation to its Constitutional foundation. 

Specifically, we need to offer our sincere apologies to a John Koster, Jesse Kelly, and Keith Fimian who ran for office and did not get elected but who were inadvertently added to our list.  Additionally, we had a long call with David Harmer from California tonight.  He is in a recount, and is dealing with the results of what appears to be large scale voter fraud, and may not win his office.  The last thing he and his family need is pressure from us, and we apologize for any stress we may have added to their lives.

Seriously?  It's bad enough you're harassing CONSERVATIVES at all hours of the day with threatening phone calls on their personal phones, likely when they're spending valuable time with their families before going off to Washington.  But you're also releasing the cell phone numbers of people who aren't even going to Congress and exposing them to this treatment as well?

Come on.  The real enemies here aren't the Republicans who just got elected for the first time, but the Democrats who didn't get kicked out of office.

Messy Yards Give Hobart Homeowners Another Mess To Handle

Maybe you saw this at NWI Times.

I love it!  Hobart and other towns and cities need to get on these people's asses.  I'm not talking about people who have a messy yard while they are working on some sort of weekend project.  I'm talking about that idiot down yellow brick road who has had that rusty car on cement blocks for the past 6 months.

Yeah, sure, it's their property and in theory they should be allowed to do whatever they want on it.  But when it brings down property values of the homes around them, I'm all in favor of throwing the book at these homeowners.  Damaging property values of other people should be illegal, whether it's burning down their house or keeping your lawn such a sty that anyone around you selling their house has to convince potential buyers that you're not hiding a meth lab in your kitchen.
